BKV Corporation (“BKV” or the “Company”) (NYSE: BKV) today announced that, subject to market and other conditions, BKV Upstream Midstream, LLC (the “Issuer”), a wholly owned subsidiary of BKV, intends to offer $500 million aggregate principal of senior notes due 2030 (the “BKV 2030 Notes”) in a private placement to eligible purchasers (the “BKV 2030 Notes Offering”). The BKV 2030 Notes will be unsecured, senior obligations of the Issuer and will be guaranteed by the Company and all of the Issuer’s existing subsidiaries and certain future subsidiaries.

The Issuer intends to use the net proceeds from the BKV 2030 Notes Offering to fund the cash portion of the purchase price of the previously announced acquisition of Bedrock Production, LLC (the “Bedrock Acquisition”), to fund the repayment of a portion of the outstanding borrowings under the RBL Credit Agreement and to pay fees and expenses related to the offering. Any excess proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes. The BKV 2030 Notes Offering is not contingent on the closing of the Bedrock Acquisition. However, if (i) the Bedrock Acquisition has not been completed on or prior to November 1, 2025 or (ii) at any time prior to November 1, 2025, the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, dated August 7, 2025, among the Issuer, the Company and Bedrock Energy Partners, LLC, is terminated, the BKV 2030 Notes will be subject to a special mandatory redemption at a price equal to 100% of the initial issue price of the notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the special mandatory redemption date.

The BKV 2030 Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any state securities laws and unless so registered, the BKV 2030 Notes may not be offered or sold in the United States absent an applicable exemption from, or a transaction not subject to, registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. The BKV 2030 Notes are being offered and sold only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act and to non-U.S. persons outside the United States pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act.

This press release is being issued pursuant to Rule 135c under the Securities Act and is for informational purposes only. This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any security, including with respect to the BKV 2030 Notes, and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offering, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
